Counties 2 Middlesex (formerly Middlesex 2) is a level 8 Rugby Union league with teams from North-West London taking part. Historically the league was a level 11 completion and the division was cancelled at the end of the 1995âÂÂ96 campaign due to the merger of the Hertfordshire and Middlesex regional leagues. After nearly 20 years, ahead of the 2025âÂÂ26 season the league was reinstated as a decision was taken to once more split out Hertfordshire RFU and Middlesex RFU clubs.
Promoted teams typically move up to Counties 1 Middlesex and relegated sides move down to the Middlesex RFU merit tables.
The league was made up of teams who moved on a level transfer from Counties 2 Herts/Middlesex with others drawn up from Counties 3 Herts/Middlesex as both leagues were, effective from this season, exclusively for Hertfordshire RFU clubs.
Not contested
When league rugby began in 1987 this division contained the following teams:
The original Middlesex 2 was a tier 9 league with promotion up to Middlesex 1 and relegation was to Middlesex 3.
The creation of Herts/Middlesex at the beginning of the 1992âÂÂ93 season meant that Middlesex 2 dropped to become a tier 10 league. The introduction of National 5 South for the 1993âÂÂ94 season meant that Middlesex 3 dropped another level to become a tier 11 league for the years that National 5 South was active. Promotion continued to Middlesex 1 and relegation to Middlesex 3. The merging of the Hertfordshire and Middlesex regional divisions at the end of the 1995âÂÂ96 season meant that Middlesex 2 was cancelled.
